Most Amazing Football Catch Ever
Alright American Football Vs Rugby is a bit like comparing Apples and Oranges, or better still sprinters to marathon runners.
AF uses an offence and defence setup which is a bit like 2 teams Vs 2 teams. AF has 10 second spurts of high octane / full power play. AF has off the ball contact allowed. AF has very little endurance play. And so on...
Very different to Rugby. The big heavy props in Rugby have to run for 80mins, be offence and defence, stay at high power for the full 80 mins. They must use their variety of men wisely, you wouldn't put a wide reciever up against a line backer because it would burn him out in a minute, so in rugby the mens must plan accordingly too without the opportunity to swap out the entire side.
It might seem a bit tammer to AF because you are not allowed to endanger a man because it is sport after all, so you may not pick a man up and put him head down for example. If you pick him up it's your responsibiliy to put him down safely. That said enough bones still get broken.

No comparing at all boys so chill. The Rugby boys are every bit as big as the AF boys, just look at the Auzzies and them savage NZ All Blacks
